Individual variation in normal tissue sensitivity

Variation in response harder to observe with mega-voltage beams

because of skin sparing

Could be exploited

To avoid toxicity in sensitive patients

5% of patients

To dose escalate resistant patients

40% of patients - dose escalate up to ~15%

Other methods to measure normal tissue response are needed
